Honors opportunities
With the support of financial awards, national recognition, and a community of peers and mentors, honors students bring their future into focus and grow a personal sense of what's possible.
No goal out of reach
Students come to the University Honors Program with plans to accomplish much in their undergraduate careers. The honors community is ready to assist, overseeing opportunities and awards that lead to remarkable experiences.
Scholars programs and internships
Students can participate in University Scholars, KU's distinguished scholars program, and pursue internship opportunities with local nonprofits that are coordinated by KU Honors.
Awards, scholarships, and grants
With assistance from the KU's Center for Undergraduate Research & Fellowships (CURF), students in the University Honors Program are often competitive for national scholarships and fellowships, such as the Rhodes, Truman, and Goldwater scholarships. Additional awards and prizes administered by the program recognize students' distinct backgrounds and accomplishments.
Student leadership
The program offers several opportunities to lead within the program as recruitment ambassadors and assistants for first-year honors seminars. Common Cause also asks students to serve as design team members and peer mentors, developing and coordinating a symposium and service activities.
